I have 262 unread messages on avalon-dev atm. I think the only person
around who even comes close to reading everything is Steve, again, atm.
The trick is to figure out what needs reading. Usually, that includes
stuff with a [VOTE] or [ANN] in the subject. [RT], in particular, can
often be ignored.
What also helps is people trimming quotes and rewriting subjects (where
appropriate :D).

and by starting new messages for new threads, rather than replying and
changing the subject ;)

maybe if you were to start writing sensible English I would be able to
keep up...you meant to say, obviously:
You're a wimp! [1]
ROTFL

[1] - http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=wimp
but figuring all that out by myself takes time...lots of time. And this
was just a two-line reply! Imagine the effort needed to digest the much
more regular full-blown 4-pages-when-printed e-mails on much more
esoteric subjects when there are similar big gaps in content!!!
While we're on the subject of whimpyness...you *still* haven't submitted
an entry for the most silly picture contest...
:P:P:P:P
